Tour Vienna’s Hofburg, Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments, courtyards and gardens with skip-the-line entry and an expert guide.

“Our guide, Nicole, had such an amazing depth of knowledge and an excitement about the Sisi museum. Absolutely enjoyed hearing the “other” side to Sisi. I loved the building, loved the costumes and then walked around the gardens which being winter, weren’t flowering but saw the Sisi statue erected by her husband. ThankYOU Nicole for bringing this to life”

Review of Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens tour, with skip-the-line entry, 22 rooms, expert guides, tips, value, and winter advice.

“There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our guide Alex was today. We have taken many tours across Europe and this was by far the best one we have ever experienced. His tour bought the palace to life, it made it a totally unforgettable experience. Alex has so much knowledge about the Palace the family that built it and how the pieces fit in all over Europe, this encompassed some of the places we had been too. If you take this tour and are lucky enough to get Alex as your guide you are in for an absolute treat!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,212 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $126

Review of the Eagle’s Nest tour from Salzburg, with Alpine views, WWII history, shuttle access, Berchtesgaden, costs, and practical tips.

“This was an excellent tour with historical education and amazing sightseeing. I can’t complement our tour guide Jose enough. Of the many tours that we have taken over the years, he has been one of our best guides. He had us laughing, but also provided a gravity and emotional element to the history of the Eagles nest that was just the right balance. I would highly recommend him, our bus driver Nemo, and the entire tour to those interested. ❤️❤️❤️”

10.Leopold Museum Skip-the-Line Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 968 reviews · 1 day · from $22

Review of Vienna’s Leopold Museum, home to Schiele and Klimt masterpieces, special exhibitions, city views, prices, tips, and practical details.

“I am glad that I had the opportunity to see Egon Schiele's works firsthand at the Leopold Museum. Impressive work, naked talent on canvas, I would say without any pretense or pandering to the audience. Such talents burn out like comets, and that is what happened with Egon Schiele. Both he and his wife were taken away by the greatest pandemic of the 20th century, the Spanish flu. However, his works remain. Thank you for getting us an opportunity to see his legacy.”

Review of Schönbrunn Palace and Gardens tour in Vienna, with skip-the-line entry, 22 imperial rooms, guide quality, pricing, and practical tips.

“We enjoyed our tour of the palace, and the history behind it. The rooms we viewed were far above our expectations. Even our grandson, who did not seem too enthused about the tour, was surprised and impressed by the grandeur. The gardens were impressive even in winter. I would love to see them in the spring! Our guide, Gabby was very informative, having grown up in the immediate vicinity.”
